Xurnash sentence in language kit

Post by De Nic »

Hello together. In the LCK, Marc mentions the language of Xurnaš. There is no grammar up yet, but he gives us this sentence:

Ir nevu jadzies mnošudacij. Toc šizen ri tos bunjači šasik rili. Tos denjic šuš bunji dis kezi. Syu šačo cu šuš izraugi.

"My niece is dating a sculptor. She can see no flaws in him. He hopes one day to govern a province. Myself, I don't envy that province."

What would this sentence be in Axunashin?
[b]Scio me nihil scire.[/b]

I would think [š] is /S/ and [č] is /tS/

maybe Toc = 2Pf and Tos = 2Pm if it has gender...

Somebody attempted to break down the sentence and Mark provided some etymologies here:

By the way, I would like to add, in the politest possible terms, to the general clamor/impatience to see Xurnaš. :) I've been trying to figure out the sound changes; I think I'm seeing a Japanese-like t > ts / _u but also / _i...and vowel syncope leading to those scary mn- clusters.
